Midwife, nurse, and doctor blogs

I've come across a few new nurse blogs recently:

1) Nursing Birth. You've got to read her "Don't Let This Happen To You" series!

2) The Man-Nurse Diaries. Be sure to read his recent post about nearly bleeding to death from a cesarean section. The cesarean was scheduled because of a breech presentation. As I've been preparing to do research for a presentation at the International Breech Conference, I've been thinking a lot about the ramifications of having a breech baby in today's medical and legal climate. Universal cesarean section is not the best solution to breech babies. I hope that this conference will result in more doctors and midwives offering vaginal breech birth.

Anyway, here's my current list of birth-related midwife, nurse, and doctor blogs (taken from my sidebar). Are there any other good ones that I'm missing? Are any of my links outdated? I haven't had time to check them all recently.
